The services was really good at this diner, the waiter would check on my table regularly. The food was prepared in a timely manner.

Went with my nine year old. The food was good and the server was really nice but it was disappointing to hear members of the staff (or friends of) telling each other racist jokes. Neither me nor my kid enjoyed hearing “why black guys don’t do push ups in the gym” or about “wetting a black person’s lips and sticking them to a wall.” I don’t care what someone’s personal views are, that’s their dysfunction to deal with on their own. It’s highly unprofessional and tacky to make jokes like that around a child to whom I had to later explain why the guys in there would say what they said. Especially after at one point he was raving about how great the food was. I just paid and we left. I’ll never spend another dime at Ideal Diner again.

Hard to get a seat and the barmaids, always on the run. Hard for just 2 to handle. Otherwise, fricking awesome! Beautiful, clean and just homely like.

I’m sorry to say but I had a BLT , not much to get wrong you would think , but omg it was the worst BLT I’ve ever had , the owner needs to know about this , and the service was bad because the women there had no sense of urgency , it’s the morning people need to go , it’s a fast pace but she was not moving fast , and I was next to man getting grits and they you flip the play upside down, the grits would probably not fall off , smh , owner please give Newark better service and food , you have a very nice place , very clean and looks like at night it’s a nice place to go have a drink and shoot pool . Thank you
